EDISCSCULPTSpinal stenosis is one of the most common causes of chronic back pain. Thanks to the advent of laser surgical technology, spinal stenosis surgery can now be performed with minimally invasive procedures, in an outpatient setting.
Laser Treatment
Spinal stenosis refers to any condition that causes the spinal canal to become more narrow than usual. Herniated and bulging discs, arthritis, injury, and tumors are all possible causes of spinal stenosis. Some cases are asymptomatic; patients don't know they have any condition unless it shows up on an X-ray. When the nerves or spinal cord are compressed, however, symptoms can be severe.
Many cases of spinal stenosis can be treated using non-surgical methods. Medication and lifestyle changes can help reduce inflammation, as well as how much weight is borne by the spine.
When conservative treatments fail to alleviate symptoms, it may be time to consider surgery. Surgery is a strong option for patients who have severe pain or neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness or numbness in the limbs.
